Review on ASICS Gel-Venture 8 Women's Running Shoes: Enhanced SEO-friendly Product Name by Djuan Thompson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I had to break in/super long laces

I don't know what happened here as I have been wearing Asics for many years. I'm an avid runner; I ride three or four days a week and run 5 miles. I always order Asics one size and have never had any problems. Then this couple. The first time Hugh developed a blister on his left foot healing, blistering on both big toes and over the nails of the next toe, bruising so much they turned black overnight. I am going to lose my toenail and frankly my toes 2nd inside - they seem to be broken - it hurts! I have no idea what happened. I actually ordered two different pairs of Asics so I can switch between them. The other pair is Asics, Gel 6. I had no problems with it, but the shoes of the same style, in Gel 8, crippled my feet. Fast forward two weeks and I'll try these new ones again. It is excellent. No questions. Get dressed in a few days. OK no problem. Strange. So weird because I've never had to break in a pair of Asics shoes before, they are so good. I hope they didn't change their manufacturing process and that was an accident! Now the only problem I have is with the laces. I wear a size 7 and these laces are clearly a size 15 shoe - they are so long! Very annoying! Luckily I just traded the laces in for my old laces.
